The Reforms

If I am to be bedridden on account of illness, I honestly have no idea what I would prefer. Experience has shown me that solitude can be befitting, yet it does not always remedy the situation.

It remind of an ancient Egyptian parable; one in which I would much like to envision myself in...

"I think I'll go home home and lie very still,
feigning terminal illness.
Then the neighbors will all troop over me to stare,
my love, perhaps, among them.
How she'll smile while all the specialists
snarl in their teeth!--
she perfectly knows what ails me."




Whenever you are free to go to the supermarket, what is one item in which you go beyond any and all means to obtain no matter what?
